(I thought that was a fun title because it's spelled the same in English and Spanish, just read with different emphasis.)
Today was a great day. Although kinda busy and hectic with some applications and organizational stuff, I got to see a good friend from my semester in Sevilla! Dave is a native Spanish chico who befriended a lot of us Americans. We played tons of sand volleyball and worked a lot on our Spanish with Dave and his friend Pablo. Well, now Dave is studying at a college in St. Louis and was visiting at his friend Jeremy's apartment in Chicago. I grabbed my faithful friend Lauren Sandberg and hopped on the orange line to meet them. We had a great time getting coffee (or hot chocolate, in my case), walking around in Wicker Park (so hipster of us), and unknowingly eating at a vegan cafe (surprisingly delicious).

It was a great way to spend my last night before classes begin for my spring semester tomorrow morning (yikes!). I am so excited for these next few months of school, and while I hate waking up early, I am kinda looking forward to writing those papers. To be honest, I missed 'em. This weekend is an adventure in itself as I head to Washington DC on a little bus trip (more on that later) with my good friend Karyn Koopmans. Whilst there I plan on meeting up with my brother's girlfriend, Heidi. Eeeek! Too much excitement!
ooh ooh where was the vegan cafe?
ReplyDeleteIt was Native Foods Cafe on Milwaukee Ave in Wicker Park! The Greek Goddess salad is to die for.
